Soft-touch thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs)
overmolded onto a lightweight paddleshaft made of
Avient’s advanced composite materials can help add
to the experience and avoid annoyances such
as blisters.
Make your products look and feel amazing, and
add shelf appeal while you’re at it:
• Offer a more comfortable grip to a typically
hard surface with TPEs from Avient
• Provide an easy process for customization
with TPEs
• Use materials that provide documented vibration
damping and lessen the negative effects of bone-
rattling vibration on the human body
Your customers may get their thrills
from extreme sports like backwoods
snowboarding or a simple family
camping trip.
